| So Tre` had a well visit today and we have a lot of following up to do. We should schedule an appointment for neurosurgery. He’d like them to investigate the flatness of his head. During his hospital stay, he spent most of his time on his back. Poor guy. His doctor “expected” his head to have rounded by now. As of now it has rounded because he’s a lot more mobile. He spoke of a possible helmet but we’d cross that bridge when we get to it.
His doctor also recommended a pediatric surgeon for inguinal hernia and hydrocele. These returned shortly after his initial surgery and I don’t know why. I have heard of the possibility but not to this degree. It’s not grossly enlarged or appear to be uncomfortable but it’s there and noticeable.
Periodically Tre` would cross his eyes when he’s excited. I don’t know if it’s shunt related or his nervous system. We’re going to have his ophthalmologist take a look.
He has four teeth at the bottom and four up top. They all came in discolored. It’s a green yellow tinge. On one hand it’s a possibility of prematurity. Another hand shows medication side effect. And hovering over us is possible reflux. In the end we’d have to see a dentist. This is going to be interesting. This child of mine HATES for someone to be in his mouth.

Today he wore a BRAND NEW 24mo outfit. Today will be the last of 24mo. I'm on a hunt for 2T now. Goodies, he's just getting bigger and bigger. I guess kids are supposed to do that, huh. I mean COME ON, an 18mo shirt makes him look like a brown Pooh Bear. Oh bother!

My oldest did the helmet and we were so pleased with the results. He is 5 now and you cant even tell how flat his head once was! Hope everything else is going ok there with the sprinting too...
